Edited by Boris Rumer and Lau Sim Yee
Ever since the events of 11 September 2001, media coverage of Central Asia and the South Caucasus has seen a considerable rise. Despite the rapid increase in the amount of information available through both traditional media outlets and the Internet, however, it is often difficult to distinguish reliable information from the unreliable and get a clear picture of the real situation in these regions.
This is the second volume of articles on Central Asia and the South Caucasus Affairs sponsored by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, aimed to provide readers with better insight into the broad spectrum of forces and influence that have taken shape around the region and created a new geopolitical formation. The articles written by various regional experts cover a wide range of domestic and foreign issues facing the two regions, such as cross-border confrontation, economic reform and governance.
Central Asia and South Caucasus Affairs: 2002
Edited by Boris Rumer and Lau Sim Yee
This book is a collection of essays that came out of a multi-year project sponsored by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, and embraces the decade of transition in post-Soviet Central Asia and the South Caucasus. Written primarily by scholars from the regions, the essays encompass a variety of important issues facing the countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus, from WTO membership, foreign investment and trade, to economic reform. Fundamental changes to the geopolitical environment of these regions after 11 September 2001 are also examined. Substantial differences of opinion between the contributors to this volume can be seen in a number of essays, providing the reader with a fuller insight into the complex nature of issues emerging in the region.
